We teach all levels of Audio Description, from those who are brand new to the industry to those who are looking to gain more experience and training. Past students have included participants from the National Parks Service, universities, filmmakers, interpreters, disability advocates, voice talent, as well as individuals in the field of Audio Description.
Our trainings emphasize practice time as well as feedback from peers and instructors (one of whom is a blind patron of Audio Description herself). We limit our class size to small groups to ensure adequate time and attention for each student. Currently we offer virtual classes in a Zoom format, with 3-4 days of formal class time.
Once you complete our Fundamentals course, you will be added to ADTR’s network of graduates, providing support, networking, and resources. We also provide reference materials to take with you for continuing education, and recorded student performance clips which can be used as part of a demo or resume sample.
Our Fundamentals course is required to introduce participants to the current trends in AD, learn vocabulary and roles within different professions, raise awareness of the disability community and accessibility, and to provide ADTR grads with a common ground to branch from as they work together in future courses. Our Advanced classes delve deeper into more specific aspects of AD, one with a focus on television and film, and one on live performances and events.
